Russian Dushka Machine Gun (DShK)

While I was visiting with the Green Berets at Ft. Bragg during heavy weapons day I got some hands-on time with the Russian made DShk or "Dushka" heavy machine gun. It fires a 12.7×108mm round and has a muzzle blast that is almost four times that of our M2HB 50 Cal Machine Gun. It's an awesome gun to fire, but you wouldn't want to be behind it very long.
